This blog has listed the films noir that are in the NYT Best 1000 Films list:
Crossfire (1947)
Double Indemnity (1944)
Force of Evil (1948)
High Sierra (1941)
Laura (1944) one of my favorites
M (1931) Oh, I've tried several times but found myself too disturbed by this film to get far. I'll try again, I'm sure.
M (1951)
Midnight (1934)
Notorious (1946)
Ossessione (1943)
Out of the Past (1947)
Pickup on South Street (1953)

The Scoundrel (1935)
The Set-Up (1949)
The Third Man (1949) I looked for this earlier in the week at Spin Street, but they were out. It's next on my to-buy list
The Verdict (1946)
They Live by Night (1948)
Touch of Evil (1958)
White Heat (1949)
You Only Live Once (1937)
The number of these I have seen is pitifully small. I've put them in bold print.
update 6/9: This post refutes the idea that Laura can be classified as film noir.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad so much of this kind of thing is readily available.
Let me know if you find The Verdict anywhere. I've seen a bit of it, and it was quite well done.
